In 1966, Dr Robert Wilson (a New York gynaecologist) declared all Menopausal Women 'Galloping Catastrophes'. And though it was meant in a derogatory manner - many menopausal women would declare it fairly accurate! This 'self-help' book is a bit different from the average menopausal book. No images of slim happy healthy woman skipping their way through the menopause flicking their thick golden locks behind them. It is more like chatting to a friend who totally gets it, as they too can't stop eating chocolate and over-using the 'F' word. It's about what it's really like to be a menopausal woman. Realising you are not alone is perhaps the best self-help there is. Galloping Catastrophe isn't int...
In this six-week Bible study through the beatitudes, author Jennifer Kennedy Dean examines the promise of blessedness in Christ’s Sermon on the Mount. Unlike a circumstance-driven emotion, such as happiness, blessedness is eternal and grounded in the reality of Christ in you. You are able to live in the state of blessedness that God has created for you when you discover the key to true holiness—a call to freedom and joy. We were made for holiness, and this core concept of the beatitudes is accessed through a praying life—a life lived in the present-tense power of God. It is only when we continually pursue holiness that blessedness comes, and we discover the power and fulfillment of the promise of God. An accompanying DVD and online resources are available to enhance the study experience.

She examines magazines published by Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU), an auxiliary to the SBC: Our Mission Fields (1906–1914), Royal Service (1914–1995), Contempo (1970–1995), and Missions Mosaic (1995–2006). In them, she traces how WMU writers and editors perceived, constructed, and expanded the lives of southern women. Showing ingenuity and resiliency, these writers and editors continually, though not always consciously, reshaped their ideal of Christian womanhood to better fit the new paths open to women in American culture and Southern Baptist life. Maxwell’s work demonstrates that Southern Baptists have transformed their views on biblically sanctioned roles for women over a relatively short historical period. How Southern Baptist women perceive women’s roles in their churches, homes, and the wider world is of central importance to readers interested in religion, society, and gender in the United States.
